I am not sure it is wise to use such a feature on Arch. One could say it
alters the package in a way that was not intended by upstream. And
similar to other downstream patches we add: It would be better for every
user of such software if those png files are optimized by the upstream
project. Especially if they are broken.
One could implement a namcap rule that checks for broken pngs or those
that can be optimized.
Greetings,
Pierre
